We have the following specific requests. If you'd like to take on one of these topics, please submit a reservation. If you'd like to add your own request, please use our request form.
  • ActiveX - Integration of the Microsoft Agent Control in paradox application using the built-in properties, methods and events of the control.
  • Barcodes - Everything you ever wanted to know
  • Data Model - Attaching a table to a form
  • Data Model - Data modeling and application in forms/reports/automation
  • DDE - controling Microsoft Word from a paradax form; load, print, close, and send data to Word documents; what are the commands and Topics and Item for Word?
  • Development - How to use passwords in ObjectPAL code, general password uses, strategies, etc.
  • Errors - What to check for and when
  • Errors - Are there error checks which should be considered mandatory, others useful, others polite? (What's obsessive?)
  • Errors - How to handle them - messages, graceful exits, etc.
  • Events - Menus, bubbling, trapping
  • Forms - Data dependent font or object color (or any other properties, such as visible and tabstop)
  • Forms - How to fill the fields of a new records with those from the last record
  • Forms - How to allow a column in a table to be visible or hidden depending on if the user would like to view it or not. Pretty much the idea of hide/unhide a column in a table on a form.
  • Forms - How to allow multiple users to edit detail records of the same master at the same time...
    or, just a treatise on locking in Paradox...
  • Forms - Launching a form (or report) from another form (the right way)
  • Forms - Sorting tableframes by clicking on the column header (or similar construct)
  • Forms - Using libraries for managing code
  • General - Setting up Paradox, the BDE and networks for multi-user Paradox applications
  • Graphics - How to handle them, comparison of storing the files in a table vs. not
  • ObjectPAL - Do-it-yourself incrementing
  • ODBC - How to query Paradox tables through Autocad Map 2000 via ODBC, where to find Paradox ODBC drivers, how to configure ODBC or the BDE.
  • Reports - Data dependent font color.
  • Reports - What ObjectPAL code *can* be used in a report?
  • SQL - Detailed examples of SQL data manipulation in forms, please.
  • StringLists - How to use them
  • Tables - Creating a table structure for effectiveness
  • Toolbars - How to make and use custom toolbars
  • Web Stuff - How to transfer specific data from an HTML page into a Paradox table (via code)
  • Web Stuff - How to set up an Apache server on Red Hat Linux to Proxy to the CWSOCX
  • Web Stuff - Tony's article was great, but I need more. I can get books with examples on ASP, coldfusion, ultradev, sql even Paradox. But I cannot find any examples except those Tony graciously provided. Granted, they were great. They do not cover area such as keeping forms in sync with session variables or cookies, record sets, formatting for print, and probably a lot of things I cannot even think of. So, that's it. SIMPLE examples that go beyond Hercules, or, use Hercules but extend on it. It would also be helpful to see it either in .bmp's or .gifs on web page (like you've already done in other articles) or an actual page that works.
  • New - 24 Oct 2003 Web Stuff - Been trying to figure out how to issue ICMP (ping) from with Paradox and be able to return IP, TTL, Alive, and tracert return a hop ip and server name.


  • Collection of do's, don't's, this-is-faster-than-that, this-is-better-than-that, etc. (please feel free to add to this list). This would be a collaborative, on-going effort by the entire community. Items in this collection could be just a sentence, or might be an entire article. If you can think of something that fits in this category, please let us know.


  • I would like to see a discussion of how to set up a runtime (P10) application on a remote machine as automatically as possible. Including how to get the system installed without being physically present, add any needed special number and date formats to the system. Can an install detect the running Windows version and adjust the install to match?
